Incomplete - Episode 10

 

“Come on girl just pick the call and tell her it’s over between you two” my heart scream as I look at my phone ringing for the tenth time and messages from my mom

I opened the last message from her and it read “Open your Whatsapp now, attend to that and if you keep me waiting you know what it means” with a smiling emoji to complete it

I threw the phone at my bed in anger; “arrgghh I hate this woman” I scratched my hair in anger

I reluctantly went to the bed and picked up my phone, opened my Whatsapp and saw the picture she sent to me. Clicking on the image my mouth dropped open; my utmost enemy, the manager of the competing company

“Why will my mother do this, why will she connect me with someone like this when she knows he is my rival”

I slid to my contacts and called her

“Baby girl, I know you will call; he is waiting for you at the hotel, he likes his girls early in the morning because he believes that’s the best time so buckle up and go there immediately and please dress hot”

I can feel my mom smiling triumphantly at the other end and I hate that fact, how can I let her win me

“Sweetie don’t be silent remember I have something of yours in my possession”

Not able to take the tantrum anymore I cut the call and threw away my phone as if that will solve my problem

My room seems suddenly hot even with the AC on, I slid off my nightwear slowly and entered my bathtub promising myself to immerse myself in work and everything will fall into place

**** At the office nothing was going as planned, I plan on facing my work squarely but I seem to fail at that . I jump at any slightest noise, my secretary walking into my office makes me panic thinking she has come to tell me the news or scandal about me on the internet

I thought I am a strong lady but this got to me; have been checking my phone constantly, scrolling through Facebook, Whatsapp, YouTube, Operamini in fact everywhere to know if any news about me is flying but the silence and calmness makes me more uncomfortable

Tristy noticed and have been asking many questions but I kept giving her positive affirmation each time

My Mom quietness makes me uneasy because I know what she can do, sleeping with my rival will bring down my company because he will definitely use it against me and it’s something I can never do; I felt my blood boil at the thought of Mr

. Randy placing his hand over his big stomach with the feel of accomplishment

I startled at the buzz of my intercom

“Yes” I speak astound at how jumpy I have become

“Mah, Mr. Chris is here to see you”

“Okay, give me a minute”

I adjusted my clothes, applied a little powder on my face, arranged the files before allowing Chris inside my office

“Good morning miss mysterious, at last I got to meet you again without problem”

I laughed at what seems like a joke to me

“Sit down Mr. Chris what can I do for you”

He smiled “no need of the seriousness but yet you have to be a diva right; we are at your office…..”

“It’s okay Mr. Chris; can we stop this battering and get down to business”

“Okay, I saw something on the internet”

My heart flipped at the piece of information

“Something of what nature” I ask terrified that my worst nightmare is coming through 

“I saw your company advertisement about a contract and am here to submit my bid”

I heaved a sigh of relief and adjusted myself

“Let me see your file”

He submitted the file to me, I scanned it through but I was not in the right frame of mind to do that; I just signed it and gave it back to him

“You have the contract, just make sure you deliver”

Chris looked at me surprised “just like that”

“should I take it back” I ask

“No” still smiling “what of the date”

“I will think of that”

“Come on I don’t hurt”

“Every man says that”

“Okay, I give up; call me when you need me” He stood up to leave

“Chris” I called him back

“Yes” he answers with a smirk maybe he thought I have accepted but sorry to burst his bubbles; I smiled inside me “No funny business”

“Yes no funny business”

I watched him as he left my office wondering if I could use his help
